Each gift is made from the luxurious fleece of one of our prize winning Yorkshire alpacas. Hypoallergenic, and naturally antibacterial, these gifts can be worn by people who can't normally wear wool next to their skin due to their low prickle factor. Each gift is either part of a very small limited edition or a one off unique product and can be beautifully gift boxed and presented ready to give for a small additional charge. All of the gifts can be gently hand washed.
